Body language plays an important role in communication and relationships both at work and outside of work. Non-verbal signals through body language reveal feelings and meanings even when not accompanied by words. Effective body language is important in job interviews to make a good impression and appear confident, relaxed, and engaged with the interviewer.

2. Body language is also very relevant to relationships
outside of work, for example in dating and mating, and
in families and parenting.
Communication includes listening. In terms of
observable body language, non-verbal (non-spoken)
signals are being exchanged whether these signals are
accompanied by spoken words or not.
Body language goes both ways:
Your own body language reveals your feelings and
meanings to others.
Other people's body language reveals their feelings and
meanings to you.

4.  The moment you walk into the office,
you are immediately being judged. Make
sure that you walk in with confidence.
Keep your posture in check and be ready
to give a good, strong handshake to
anyone you meet.

5.  Eye contact is key. Make sure to keep eye contact
with the person interviewing you. If multiple
people are in the room, look around the room at
the other people and then direct your attention
back at the person that asked the question. Eye
EYE CONTACT
contact shows that you are confident and
prepared. Be remember not to stare!

6.  Relax. Everyone knows how nerve-racking
an interview is. Sit in a relaxed, but not
sloppy, manner to show that you are
confident.

7.  Point your feet and knees toward the
interviewer. This shows them that you are
engaged and interested in what they are
saying. Facing your feet toward the door
can tell interviewers that you are
uninterested and ready to leave.

8.  DON’T FIDGET! Whatever you do,
don’t play with your hair, click a pen
or wiggle your hands and feet during
an interview. Fidgeting tells the
interviewer that you uncomfortable
and not confident.

9.  DON’T press your fingertips together to
form a steeple,
 Hand gestures should be used to
enhance what is being said but don’t
overuse them.
 Don’t get too comfortable. Leaning back
in your chair may suggest that you are
overly confident.

10.  Lean forward in your chair at key
points in the interview to show your
interest.

11. Leaning forward too often could be
kind of scary but doing it at just
the right times in an interview can
really make a difference

12. Do stand or sit
upright. This
not only keeps
you alert but
also projects
confidence. On
the other hand

13. Do incline your head towards the interviewer.
A slight incline of about 10 degrees will be
appropriate. In addition, lean a little towards
the interviewer to project interest and
agreement. Moreover, do use hand gestures
to make a point. However, this is best kept at
a minimum. Keep in mind that you must look
natural and not forced or calculated.

14. Do address everyone in the
room if you are being
interviewed by a group of
people. If one of the
interviewers asks a
question, make eye contact
with that person first.
Glance briefly to the rest of
the group to get their
attention and return your
gaze to the one who asked
the question.

15. Don'ts
 Do not slouch or put your
hands in your pocket. This will
demonstrate a low self-esteem
and a lack of confidence to
your interviewer.

16. Do not cross your hands
above your chest. This
makes you look closed off
and unwelcoming of new
input. Likewise, crossing
your legs and drumming
your fingers make you
look impatient and
uninterested
